School-Based

Individualized Education Plans

ACM provides consultation services to school districts seeking assistance with Individualized Education Plans (IEP) and behavior management difficulties. Clinicians work closely with the school to select appropriate goals for students as well as to provide assistance with writing and presenting IEP’s. ACM clinicians also assist the school by conducting Functional Behavior Assessments (FBA) and writing Behavior Treatment Plans (BTP). FBA’s consist of indirect assessments and direct assessments. Examples of indirect assessments include parent/teacher interviews, standardized behavior rating scales, and questionnaires. Examples of direct assessments include direct observations of the student in the classroom and ABC data collection. The results of the FBA are then used to write an individualized BTP. Teachers and aides are trained on the BTP by clinicians and then provided with supervision and feedback as they implement it. In addition, ACM also offers district wide trainings in Applied Behavior Analysis.

We offer support for families that are affected by a loved one’s problem behavior. Problem behavior may range from a mild temper tantrum to severe destructive and aggressive behavior. The Autism Centers of Michigan uses a Functional Analysis of Problem Behavior to determine how to address the concern while teaching your loved one an appropriate alternative behavior.
